Bastille Day and modern political violence
Christa Case Bryant
Editor
Today is Le 14 Juillet, also known as Bastille Day, when France celebrates a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. On this day in 1789, a crowd of ordinary Parisians stormed a symbol of King Louis XIV鈥檚 tyranny 鈥� the Bastille fortress.
Our main offerings today touch on the struggle for political power and why it sometimes turns violent. But first, let鈥檚 catch you up with our news briefs.
As a reminder, this is your first Monday edition on our six-day-a-week schedule. Let us know what you think of the new rhythm at daily@csmonitor.com.
